Amazon gave me refunds for the cards even tho one was over a year old and I threw them in the trash.
Next memory cards I buy will be directly from Best Buy via price matching to Amazon.
That seems to be the best/safest solution.
First, if you are already a gopro subscriber, they give you an additional discount on the camera. I am not, so I couldn't see what the discount actually was.
When you check out, they break out the subscription cost (49.99) separately from the bundle cost and ask you to acknowledge it. At first, I was confused and thought they were adding this to the total cost, but when I checked out, it wasn't added. I did have to pay tax, and 2-day shipping was free.

Speaking of that, how big a difference is there between the SanDisk Extreme and Extreme Plus? Both are recommended by GoPro [gopro.com] and both support 90 MB/s write speeds. Only a slight difference in read speeds (160 vs 170). BestBuy only carries the Extreme Plus, apparently.

I would say try it before committing.

If you're concerned about failures, buy 3 Samsung microSDs for the price of one SanDisk.
By the way, Samsung NAND is one of the best regarded in the industry (along with Intel and SK Hynix). From their SSDs to their RAM and their SD cards.

NAND failures present as inability to write, data can still be read. This is true for both SSDs and SD cards. So when there is a failure, which is extremely rare for Samsung, you'll only lose that moment. The rest of the saved videos are fine, and can still be offloaded.
These 'high end' hyper-reliable SD cards are snake oil, much like Monster audio cables. Even if its better, does the difference actually matter if mainstream cards from reliable manufacturers like Samsung have reliability that exceeds your lifespan?
No third party tech reviewer has ever measured SD card endurance. Unlike for SSDs: https://techreport.com/review/279...-all-dead/
The change is written plainly on their website. Its just that GoPro documentation gets buried under mountains of blog spam and reposts.

128 or 256 is fine unless you go for a long time without offloading.
